The Real Assassin's Creed: Deadliest Special Forces Of The Dark Ages | Ancient Black Ops | Chronicle

The Order of Assassins were the deadliest special forces of the Medieval world. They were masters of disguise and stealth, wielding psychological warfare as their greatest weapon. Originating in 11th-century Persia, the Assassins, led by Hassan-i Sabbah, targeted prominent figures, including Sunni leaders, employing tactics like stabbing with stilettos and slashing with concealed weapons. The Assassins successfully assassinated key figures, instilling fear and dread across the Middle East.

  • @evanneal4936
    @evanneal4936Ай бұрын

    I'm super surprised that you didn't mention the fact that the cool hidden wrist blade from the game ACTUALLY DID exist and was actually used... they invented and manufactured a type of dagger that was kind of a gravity assisted design that activated by swinging their hand around or flicking their wrist. It wasn't widely used and difficult to make, but they did exist, and some were found, and many were directly mentioned in sources. The design was just kept a secret forever until the discovery, but I think the military banning them or deciding they're "impractical" helped wipe out our knowledge of them even further. I guess it's not really that relevant to the topic and would have added more time to the video, but I think it's still worth mentioning it, and it should have been mentioned in the video because I really truly believe from being a historian and reading sources, and seeing pictures of the artifacts, that this kind of blade was used in at least one of or maybe even all of the attacks that you talked about in the video. It's just an interesting fact to know...so I let everyone else know because I knew it.

    At the beginning, it would have been good of them to cover the evidence that the temple knights (Knights Templar) seem to have been working with them. Possibly as far back as 1080 A.D. But there's better evidence that their relationship started somewhere between 1090 & 1110. Just like in the video game, the knight were digging under the temple mount hoping to find relics and/or treasure from the time of Solomon. Unlike the video game though, it seems, from what I've read, that they had a much more cordial & mutually beneficial relationship with the Assassins.

    ​@@Bibliotecanatalie You are wrong, the area was Shia before the invasion of Seljuks that converted to Sunni Islam in order to justify their occupation of Mesopotamia. Those that still stayed true to their Shia faith were Persians, and due to risks to their lives they isolated themself in the mountains. Stop turkifying everything and steal other peoples history, I have even heard turks say that Saladin was a turk, and have recently made a turkish serie about him to brainwash the people into believing that 😂 The whole world knows he is a Kurd, even says so from all the books from his era especially in the biography that his close friend (Beha Ed-Din) wrote in year 1234 mentions this, ask anyone in Egypt and they will know. Why do you think there are so many mosques called al-akrad in the middleeast? Because it means mosques of the Kurds! It was a persian prince that invited the Seljuk to help him take over the Persian empire for himself from his brother, this lead to the turkic people to get to power after betraying him and stealing the power for themself. So how can you deny that there were no Persian state? But I have seen people try to cover up the identity of Kurds, the oldest people tribe in Mesopotamia, and tried to pass them on as "mountain turks" in order to steal their lands, ban their names, language, history and music by oppression and massacres... So I shouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.

    One important detail was left out: the practice of being an assassin comes from the Sassanid Persian Empire’s military practices, which was practiced on the Khalif Omar Ibn Khattab by Pirooz Nahavandi, a captured Sassanid military strategist. Iranians globally associate bravery and courage with the Assassination of Omar by Pirooz and celebrate it annually, regardless if you’re Shia or typically agnostic which most Iranians are.

    This documentary is filled with errors. First of all, his name is Hassan Al Sabbah not Hasani sabah. He is Arab from Yemen from Himyar tribe. Second, the Seljuks are Turks and allies of the Abbasid Arab caliphate. Third, Hassan’s sect were not prosecuted and it wasn’t dangerous to be a shia at that time. The Fatimid caliphate was already there. Its funny how your siding the story to make them seem as victims and that the sunnis were prosecuting them

    The Sicarii, also known as the Assassins, were a Jewish extremist group of bandits and assassins who opposed the Roman occupation of Judea in the 1st century AD. The Sicarii were a splinter group of the Jewish Zealots who originated around 54 CE. Their name comes from the Latin word sica, which means "poniard" or "curved dagger", and sīcārius, which means "murderer" or "assassin". The Sicarii were known for carrying small daggers, or sicae, hidden in their cloaks and using them to attack Romans and Roman sympathizers in public gatherings. They would then blend into the crowd to avoid detection....

    I know the story of Hassan i Sabah very well. What's missing here is the fact, that Hassan had 2 groups of men. One group was smoking Hash, and, when they were high, they were brought into "the gardens of delight" - which they believed, is paradise. Young women, music, - everything. These were the Assassins, the "Hashishins" - but, on duty, dope was nit used. Then Hassan had a second group, which didn't like being soldiers, - who had the capacity for "more" - these were thought in the spiritual ways and secrets. Hassan was a clever man. He knew, whom he can use as an Assassin, and whom he could teach the spiritual ways. But, the Assassins were the active, political killers, a deadly force. That's, what's missing here. Greets. Tom.

    I believe the real reason behind the formation of the Assassins’ cult in Iran was to put an end to the reign of Arab caliphate in Iran and it was a continuation of many other uprisings against the invasion of Arab Muslims in Iran which still is continuing through other forms of movements. You can also read about Babak Khoramdin and Khorramdinans’ movement with a lot of similarities.
